This is just a "not quite" daily update from me about the family, about my crafts, and life in general. Hope you'll come visit often. What I'd really love to know though is .... So, how was your day?

And the winner is....

I know, I know... I was supposed to pick a winner on Thursday but life got crazy as always and before I knew it the weekend was here and I just plum forgot! So, without further delay the winner of these fat quarters is Regina from BitnByAQuiltingBug. Congrats!

I was a winner too this week. My friend Sandra of Sandra Sews sent me this little prize, just cause! She and I both love Flamingos and I adore the bags she makes. Thank you so much Sandra. I'm loving it!Me, I'm still working on a new group of screen bags for the Etsy shop which I hope to finish in the next day or two so keep checking in. They are turning out really cute and Julianne has helped me with the fabric selections (since I'm aiming for her age group) and the buttons as well. Here's just a little sneak peak of those.

Julianne is also working on two little quilts of her own to give as gifts to a couple of little guys we are kinda fond of (Tyler & Bryce). No special occasion, she just really wanted to make them. I'm thinking I'll let her make the blocks and maybe even put them together and I'll quilt it for her, we'll have to see how it goes. I'll keep you posted.

Me, I'm excited cause my BFF MaryAnn will be here in just a week. We are gonna be floating in the pool, drinking drinks, shopping and maybe even some sewing ~ but mostly just getting into as much trouble as humanly possible. I can hardly wait.

And just because.. Here's a couple of pics from the sunrise this morning... First one is the view from my sewing room And the second one was taken looking out the window of our living room I'm telling ya.. It's nice to live in Paradise!

Thanks! I was having a not so great week and you changed it all! It started with an email from you and just stayed a good day the rest of the way thru! Thanks again! I love those fabrics and perfect timing for them, too!Regina
